Speaking for Gentoo here, as we're working on our large repo migration, and this was a concern originally. So far it's best mitigated by the pack-bitmap patches in the next branch.

The initial clones become significantly faster and much less resource intensive.

I'm hoping that the packed bitmap series lands soon in the master branch and a formal release (a big +1 from me for it).
